Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4634913, member: 2504"] If T.C. Simmons is to get playing time in the coming days, I doubt it would be as a D.H. While he is certainly a good offensive player when his bat is going well, his big value is his defensive ability. If he is going to get playing time, I would expect to see him in CF, as he is probably UConn's best defensive outfielder. Not sure what his bat will look like after being out of the lineup for so long. Because of this it would not surprise me if he doesn't get a start in either of the games today. However, it would not surprise me to see Simmons get some starts during upcoming midweek games first in order to see how he does in his return to playing time. By the way, Luke Broadhurst did get some time playing at 1B during during fall ball for UConn, so it is possible that he may see some time there. Still, it certainly would not surprise me to see Maddix Dalena get some playing time at 1B if Ben Huber is unable to play, as Dalena is certainly a freshman with talent. [/QUOTE]
